Demi Moore Shares Her Unusual Request Before Filming Bikini Scene in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

Actress Demi Moore recently appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she discussed a personal and unusual request she made while preparing for her iconic bikini scene in the 2003 film Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. At the time, Moore was 40 years old and returning to acting after a break. She revealed that her main concern during filming was how her body would be portrayed, specifically requesting that the camera avoid capturing her from behind. She candidly shared that she was particularly self-conscious about her backside, even though she couldn’t explain exactly why it mattered so much to her.

Moore also talked about the tight timeframe she had before shooting began. She was given just three and a half weeks to get ready for the role after being approached by director Joseph McGinty Nichol. With such limited preparation time, she explained that she didn’t have the chance to stress over her looks, which she now sees as a benefit. This experience helped her shift focus away from superficial concerns and toward simply doing her job as an actress.

In the interview, Moore reflected on the public reaction to her role and how it challenged societal views on aging. She acknowledged that there is often a stigma around women over 40 being seen as attractive or desirable. By confidently performing in a revealing role at that age, she felt she helped confront those limiting expectations. Additionally, Moore credited her daughters for encouraging her return to acting. Their support helped her embrace her natural body and focus more on overall health and self-acceptance than on physical perfection. The experience, she said, helped her find greater balance and confidence both on and off screen.
